We have to distinguish between modern architecture and modern corporate buildings, which often get identified as being modern architecture. Since years ago, most office tower has been sealed with glass building, and a lot of people find these to be uncomfortable environments because they lack fresh air, so those offices require to be heavily air-conditioned, demanding high cost of energy. This is an example how this modern architecture is part of the sustainability problem.
But presently, Engineers and Architecs built buildings that worked in concert with high environment sustainability. Taking care of the environment, they achieve new architectural styles which are very attractive, pretty and fashionable.
I suppose you mean (Contemporary architectural design), and the answer is : Absolutely YESI
Sustainability affects: Orientation(mass), facade (sun breaker & glass surface), BUA (built-up area) Integration between building and landscape ,colors, etc.
Any creation ,should be built to last. That's the essence to sustainability. Modern Architecture has quite a few challenges to face in terms of sustainability. It has to be environment friendly. It needs to be socially responsible and also has to be in line with the economic criteria. Leave out any one of them the creation would not be sustainable.
YES MOST NEW PROJECTS TAKE IN CONSIDERATION SUSTAINABILITY
Everything in life, which helps preserve the earth's resources in creating an arh. style is sustainability or rather the sustainable development! Today especially profitable are recyclable or reused materials.
Eco Solutions = Longer life on the planet;
Nature + Smart Human = Healthy Futurе;
No water = No building;
Aesthetics = Happyness;

Hi my expertise in architecural are limited and I dont think I can offere any idea on the matter am in Engineering and Energy thus limited knowledge regarding the subject
Sustainability has become an important element of contemporary architecture. Environmental standards such as BREEAM and LEED offer guidelines for sustainable building. Responsible architects strive to meet these standards and gain the associated certifications for their projects.
The style will change with introduction of energy efficient materials and equipments. Still there is gap so style has not yet evolved everywhere, however with modern louvers a new facade treatment is visible in technologically advanced countries.
Nowadays the designers are very much taking care of the sustainabilty factor during design stage. It helps to go for modern design tools and options in the design in such a way that which helps the nature like ventilation,renewable energy sources,recycled materials and using more of the localy available materials .

YES SUSTAINABLE DESIGN AND GREEN BUILDING CONCEPTS HAS HELPED IN ARCHITECTURE AND STYLES TO INTEGRATE THE ARCHITECTURE WITH HEALTHY LIVING AND COMFORTABLE ENVIRONMENT
